Apple Terminates Epic Games' Developer Account

If you don't like it then don't set up payment through Apple. Just set it on the web. Multiplatform subscriptions outside the Apple ecosystem are explicitly allowed. The reality is that users don't get to save money so they don't care.

I don't think this works in practice.

It seems Apple prevents you from embedding the website, linking to the website, directing users to that website from the app, or giving a FAQ that includes information about how the user is expected to pay via the website. Users have to guess, or already know.

Watch the struggles LTT have gone through with the Floatplane app.

And indeed, that is exactly what Epic did within Fortnite that has led to their current banning.
